'''Ashfoot''' was a [[WindClan]] [[deputy]] under [[Onestar|Onestar's]] [[Leader|leadership]] in [[the lake territories]]. She was born to [[Stagleap (TR)|Stagleap]] and [[Wrenflight]] along with [[Morningflower]] and Onestar, later becoming an [[apprentice]], '''Ashpaw'''. Ashpaw became '''Ashfoot''' and the [[Mates|mate]] of [[Deadfoot]] and gave birth to Crowkit and three unnamed kits. Ashfoot participated in the [[The Great Journey|Great Journey]], and was selected by Onestar to be his deputy after [[Tallstar|Tallstar's]] death and [[Mudclaw's rebellion]]. She acted as a voice of reason, helping [[ThunderClan]] [[Journey to find Sol|find]] [[Sol]]. Ashfoot died fighting in [[The Great Battle (TLH)|the Great Battle]], where she ascended to the [[ghost residence]], and her deputy position was succeeded by [[Harestar|Harespring]]. From there, she taught Crowfeather to reopen his heart to love, and when her deed was finished, managed to join the ranks of [[StarClan]].

When Onewhisker is appointed leader by Tallstar, he announces Ashfoot to be his deputy, insisting he wanted a cat who is humble and does not yearn for power.

During a [[Border|border]] skirmish with ThunderClan on a piece of forest Firestar had given Onestar, Ashfoot fights [[Spiderleg]] and [[Thornclaw]] and insist they should take up the controversy with Firestar. She, Harespring, and [[Owlwhisker]] deny a ThunderClan [[patrol]] from seeing Onestar. Firestar and a patrol visit WindClan's [[camp]] to ask about [[Ashfur (TC)|Ashfur's]] murder, but Onestar orders Ashfoot to escort them out. Ashfoot orders Tornear and Breezepelt away so she could speak to Firestar alone. She explained she saw Sol along their border a quarter-moon prior, and didn't want trouble between their two Clans.

:In '''''[[Crowfeather's Trial]]''''', shortly after the Great Battle, WindClan builds a memorial for those fallen in the fight, including Ashfoot. Crowfeather struggles to process the grief of losing his mother by himself, and secludes himself from Breezepelt and Nightcloud, both of whom he has a terrible relationship with. Ashfoot visits Crowfeather in his dreams and he notices how she does not bear the starry pelt of StarClan warriors. She insists she cannot leave for StarClan until her son is happy, and encourages him to compromise on his relationships with Nightcloud and his kits. After he finally does, Ashfoot goes to StarClan at peace.

However, Ashfoot echoes him in disbelief, reminding him that they were too close to fire and [[Monsters|monsters]], and that her kit wouldn't be safe.

:When one of the [[Apprentice|apprentices]] cries out in fear, a [[Twoleg]] throws an object in the cats' direction. It grazes Ashfoot's shoulder, but she remains silent as she wraps herself around Eaglekit. When all is quiet, Ashfoot gets back to her paws, wincing at the pain in her shoulder. She tells Tallstar that she fears for their safety, since she couldn't smell prey anywhere. Tallstar then reaches forward and rests his muzzle on her head, telling her that he knows she is hungry, but that they are safer here than in their own territory. Tallstar then sends Deadfoot and Onewhisker to look for rats. Ashfoot recoils at this, spitting out that rats are no better than crow-food. But she is hushed by [[Thrushwing]], who reminds her that rats are better than nothing. Ashfoot remains silent as she leans over and licks Eaglekit between his ears.

:After Onewhisker is pronounced leader, he appoints Ashfoot to be his new deputy. At first, Brambleclaw doesn't know who Ashfoot is until he spots a gray she-cat with a look of shock on her face. Crowfeather bounds over to her and presses his muzzle against hers while the other WindClan cats begin to chant her name. Brambleclaw then remembers that she was Crowfeather's mother, and that he had seen her twice before at a Gathering even though he'd never spoken to her. He notices that she's a popular choice, and thinks that Onewhisker was wise to have chosen her. Onewhisker touches noses with her, and she thanks him, telling him that she was surprised to have been chosen. Onewhisker tells her that this was why he chose her, and gives her ear a quick lick. He tells her that he wants a cat who is humble, and will help make WindClan strong again. Ashfoot vows that she will try to be that cat.

:When they had gone, Ashfoot tells Firestar that she had to speak with him alone, for there was something important to tell him. She tells him that a couple sunrises ago, she had been leading the dawn patrol along the stream, when she had spotted [[Sol]]. Firestar tells Ashfoot that he thought Sol had left the lake, but Ashfoot says that he was definitely here a few days ago. Firestar then demands to know why Onestar wouldn't tell him, and Ashfoot shrugs uncomfortably. Lionblaze notes to himself that she was a fair cat, and couldn't be happy about the tension between ThunderClan and WindClan. Her loyalty to Onestar wouldn't let her speak openly.
  
−  
−
:She tells Firestar that Ashfur's death was his problem, not Onestar's, and that he couldn't expect Onestar to be happy for them barging into their camp, accusing his cats of murder. Brambleclaw begins to protest, but Firestar assures Ashfoot that they weren't accusing WindClan. He then asks her when exactly she had seen Sol, and she tells him she had seen him a quarter moon ago, in the woods near the lake. She then comments that he couldn't spot them, since he was eating fresh-kill. Firestar then thanks Ashfoot for her help. She wishes them well, and Lionblaze sees the sympathy in her eyes as they leave.
  
−  
−
:When ThunderClan sets out to look for Sol, their patrol meets Ashfoot on WindClan territory. After a brief greeting, Ashfoot tells them that she thought they would go looking for Sol, and Brambleclaw tells her that there were questions that needed answers, whether Sol killed Ashfur or not. Ashfoot then tells him that she had something to show them, and leads them to the Twoleg fence beside the Horseplace. She flicks her ears at a piece of fur in the fence, and Brambleclaw realizes that it belonged to Sol. She then wishes them good luck, and goes back to her own territory. But before she leaves, Brambleclaw asks her why she did it, and she tells him that she wants her Clan to be safe, and that Sol should be dealt with before he causes more trouble.

:After a six moon time lapse, Ashfoot remains the deputy of WindClan. During a Gathering, Lionblaze spots her walking next to Crowfeather, and reminds himself that she was his mother. He drops back, hoping they hadn't noticed him, and slips away. Later, when Firestar wishes to send a cat from each Clan up the river, Onestar exchanges a glance with Ashfoot, and agrees to come. They send Whitetail and Sedgewhisker.

:Ashfoot brings Whitetail and [[Sedgewhisker]] to the stream to join the water patrol. She greets Brambleclaw in a friendly way and tells him that it was good to see him. But Russetfur and Mistyfoot are on edge, and begin to get in a vicious fight. But before things can get out of control, Ashfoot steps forward and reminds them that they are all working together now, and that the patrol must do whatever they can without risking their lives. As the patrol leaves, Ashfoot yowls after them, saying that StarClan may light their path and bring them all home safe.

:When Breezepelt accuses a ThunderClan patrol of crossing the border, Ashfoot is seen coming up to ask him what happened. Breezepelt tells her it was just a misunderstanding about getting the water, and Ashfoot advises Jayfeather to keep his warriors on their side of the lake, to avoid future misunderstandings. Swallowing his anger, Jayfeather complies, then leads the patrol away.

She points out [[Webfoot]], who is the Clan's best storyteller. She assures the kittypets that they have nothing to fear from WindClan. They fight in the noblest way, out in the open, because the outcome is based strictly on strength. She says that open battles carry the weight of destiny, quoting [[Gray Wing|Graywing the Wise]].

Hollyleaf then tells her that they had brought fresh-kill. Breezepaw warns Ashfoot not to touch it, for they might have put [[deathberries]] in it, but Ashfoot ignores him and asks why they would bring WindClan food. After Jaypaw's explanation, Ashfoot reminds him that this was not mentioned in the warrior code, but Jaypaw insists that it was the right thing to do. Finally, Ashfoot takes the prey, and thanks them for the gift. Breezepaw begins to object, but Ashfoot reminds him that if StarClan had not wanted ThunderClan to catch prey, they would have kept every living creature hidden from sight. And that this was a better catch that they had had in a long time; a clear blessing from StarClan. Breezepaw then tells her that he wouldn't eat any of it, and she tells him that, be that as it may, he still needed to help carry it back to camp. But as they leave, Ashfoot reminds the ThunderClan cats that WindClan is still their enemy, and that they are not to cross the border. Jaypaw hastily agrees, then leaves with his littermates.

She apologizes sincerely, and Ashfoot seems like the only cat to accept it, and let them keep the squirrel with no complaint. She tells them to get off their land and to re-mark their borders. Mistystar agrees, and the deputy tells [[Antpelt (WC)|Antpelt]] to put his claws away, and she leads them home.

Revision as of 01:05, 1 September 2020

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
"I've told you the most important lesson. To love. You must open yourself to love again. And I sent you the dream of Hawkfrost and Hollyleaf to show you how much you care about all your kits, whatever happens to them. You must reopen your heart to Breezepelt and be a father to him. [...] I'm proud of you, Crowfeather. At last, you're beginning to change."
— Ashfoot to Crowfeather in Crowfeather's Trial, pages 355-356


Ashfoot is a broad-faced[9] gray she-cat.[11]

Ashfoot was a WindClan deputy under Onestar's leadership in the lake territories. She was born to Stagleap and Wrenflight along with Morningflower and Onestar, later becoming an apprentice, Ashpaw. Ashpaw became Ashfoot and the mate of Deadfoot and gave birth to Crowkit and three unnamed kits. Ashfoot participated in the Great Journey, and was selected by Onestar to be his deputy after Tallstar's death and Mudclaw's rebellion. She acted as a voice of reason, helping ThunderClan find Sol. Ashfoot died fighting in the Great Battle, where she ascended to the ghost residence, and her deputy position was succeeded by Harespring. From there, she taught Crowfeather to reopen his heart to love, and when her deed was finished, managed to join the ranks of StarClan.

History

Looking for a longer overview? Find one here!

The Prophecies Begin

"Peace? Here? With fire and monsters? My kits won't be safe!"
―Ashfoot to Tallstar about their new shelter Fire and Ice
Ashfoot is a WindClan queen and has given birth to a kit. When Brokenstar and ShadowClan drive out WindClan from their territory, Ashfoot frets about the safety of her kit as the Clan travels through dangerous Twoleg land. Tallstar and her mate insist they had no choice, and Ashfoot begrudgingly holds her tongue. Later, Fireheart and Graystripe arrive to lead the Clan back to their home, and Ashfoot helps carry Morningflower's kit across a Thunderpath.

The New Prophecy

"You couldn't hope for a better sign than this. StarClan sent lightning to strike the tree and kill the cat who would have taken your place. There's no doubt now that you're the cat StarClan has chosen to lead WindClan."
―Ashfoot to Onewhisker Starlight
Ashfoot had given birth to another litter of kits; however, only Crowkit survived to his apprenticeship. She participates on the Great Journey to the lake territories. When Onewhisker is appointed leader by Tallstar, he announces Ashfoot to be his deputy, insisting he wanted a cat who is humble and does not yearn for power. Firestar and Brambleclaw quietly approve of Onewhisker not selecting an overly ambitious cat to help strengthen his leadership.
She participates in Mudclaw's rebellion and fights for Onewhisker. After Mudclaw is killed by a fallen tree, Ashfoot reminds her leader that Mudclaw was a traitor and that StarClan approved Onewhisker's leadership. She worries for her son when he disappears and wonders why he vanished with a ThunderClan medicine cat. She, Tornear, Squirrelflight, and Brambleclaw try follow Crowfeather and Leafpool's scent trail, but they quickly lose it.

Power of Three

"I want my own Clan to be safe. Sol must be dealt with before he causes more trouble."
―Ashfoot to Brambleclaw Sunrise
Her son had become mates with Nightcloud, and Breezekit was their only surviving kit. During a border skirmish with ThunderClan on a piece of forest Firestar had given Onestar, Ashfoot fights Spiderleg and Thornclaw and insist they should take up the controversy with Firestar. She, Harespring, and Owlwhisker deny a ThunderClan patrol from seeing Onestar. Firestar and a patrol visit WindClan's camp to ask about Ashfur's murder, but Onestar orders Ashfoot to escort them out. Ashfoot orders Tornear and Breezepelt away so she could speak to Firestar alone. She explained she saw Sol along their border a quarter-moon prior, and didn't want trouble between their two Clans. When Brambleclaw leads a patrol to find Sol, Ashfoot greets them and leads them to the horseplace where she last detected Sol's scent.

Omen of the Stars

"That's enough. We're working together now. The patrol must do whatever they can without risking their lives."
―Ashfoot to Mistyfoot and Russetfur when they're fighting The Fourth Apprentice
Lionblaze reflects how he and Ashfoot are kin now since Crowfeather is his father. Ashfoot brings Whitetail and Sedgewhisker to meet the others for their journey to the beaver dam. Ashfoot prevents a fight from escalating between Mistyfoot and Russetfur, and another outburst between Breezepelt and Jayfeather. When Dovewing uses her powers to see the WindClan cats and Sol attacking through the tunnels, she notices how Ashfoot wasn't present, implying Sol only tricked some of WindClan to follow his lead. She participates in the battle against the Dark Forest, but is slain in the fight.

Super Editions

This section summarizes Ashfoot's significant Super Editions appearances. If you're looking for a full list, find one here!

In Crowfeather's Trial, shortly after the Great Battle, WindClan builds a memorial for those fallen in the fight, including Ashfoot. Crowfeather struggles to process the grief of losing his mother by himself, and secludes himself from Breezepelt and Nightcloud, both of whom he has a terrible relationship with. Ashfoot visits Crowfeather in his dreams and he notices how she does not bear the starry pelt of StarClan warriors. She insists she cannot leave for StarClan until her son is happy, and encourages him to compromise on his relationships with Nightcloud and his kits. After he finally does, Ashfoot goes to StarClan at peace.

Continuity

The following information is from sources considered non-canon or retconned.

  • In Secrets of the Clans, a 2007 field guide, it is revealed that Ashfoot is a distant descendant of Windstar.[13] When ShadowClan attacks the WindClan camp, Ashfoot shoves Morningflower back into the nursery, growling at her that she is in no condition to fight. But when Morningflower protests, Ashfoot instructs her to protect Eaglekit, then rushes into battle. As Morningflower crouches in the nursery, she hears Ashfoot's enraged yowls coming from outside.[14]
  • On the Warriors website family tree, Ashfoot and Deadfoot's kits are Crowfeather, Hillkit, Downkit and Eaglekit.[15] She is also an aunt to Onestar's daughter, Heathertail, and Morningflower's kits, Gorsepaw, Storkkit and Quailkit.[16][17]

Quotes

Ashfoot: "Thank you, Onewhisker. I'll do my best. I never imagined-"
Onewhisker: "I know. That's one reason why I chose you. I don't want a cat who thinks she deserves power. I want a cat who will help me make our Clan strong again when we reach our new home."
Ashfoot: "Then that is what I will do."
—Ashfoot and Onestar after Ashfoot's deputy ceremony Starlight


"You're needed for a hunting patrol. Or do you think the rabbits will come running into the camp on their own?"
―Ashfoot to Tornear and Breezepelt Sunrise


Ashfoot: "Goodbye, then, and good luck!"
Brambleclaw: "Thanks, Ashfoot. You've helped us a lot. What made you do it?"
Ashfoot: "I want my own Clan to be safe. Sol must be dealt with before he causes more trouble."
—Ashfoot on why she helped ThunderClan solve Ashfur's murder Sunrise


Crowfeather: "Oh, Ashfoot. I miss you so much...But why are you here? Why aren't you in StarClan?"
Ashfoot: "I can't leave yet. There are tasks you must do. You could lose everything."
—Crowfeather and Ashfoot Crowfeather's Trial


Crowfeather: "You made it to StarClan!"
Ashfoot: "It was time. I'm so proud of you, Crowfeather. Proud that you're finally listening. No cat can be a good warrior, or a loyal Clanmate, with a closed heart. Now you have opened yours...and WindClan is better for it."
Crowfeather: "It scares me a little. Caring, when for so long I tried not to. Any cat you love, you can lose."
Ashfoot: "The loss is worth it. I loved you...so much...and now it hurts to part. But I'm better for it, and so are you."
